INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for purchasing
Multiple Audio Clock Processor, from MUTEC!
About this Manual
The whole manual is related to both versions in general, iD and iD dp.
The individual differences are mentioned in the according sections and
chapters.
The structure of this manual refers to the normal process of installing
id in a standard audio/video studio environment. Thus the chapters are
ergonomically sorted to provide a fast set-up. Before first power-on we
recommend to read the chapters INTRODUCTION and BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS
to get to know the general functionality of id and to reach a fast system
integration.
The following chapters OPERATION and id TECHNOLOGY describe
individual functions which enable the adaption of iD to every studio
environment. The chapters APPLICATION EXAMPLE and APPENDIX include
descriptions of favorable studio set-ups as well as all technical information.
If there are any uncertainties when operating the units which can not be
cleared up by the content of this manual, please feel free to contact your
local dealer or MUTEC directly. All contact details are included in chapter
WARRANTY REGULATIONS located at the beginning of the manual.
General Function Description
Conventional audio clock distributors only distribute and amplify the
incoming reference through different outputs, but the distributed signal
itself will not be further processed. In result, the connected devices
receive jitter-disturbed and unstable clock signals which causes uncertain
synchronization and degraded sound quatlity!
iD works as a clock distributor in an entirely different way. Based on latest
DDS-technology, iD decouples the incoming reference completely to the
output signals. Due to this, the connected devices will receive most stable
and jitter-free clock signals possible at any time – no matter if the incoming
reference consists of high jitter, is instable or partly interrupted. Thus, iD
offers a highly convenient solution to upgrade your studio set-up and
improve your produced sound quality overall!
iD is not only a signal-regenerating distribution amplifier but can also be
used as a master clock reference. In both operation modes iD supports the
industry's widest range of 36 different audio-related Word Clock rates from
8.0kHz to 24.576MHz. The 3 inputs accept various clock references which
can be distributed through 16 Word Clock (expandable to 20!), 2 AES/EBU
and 2 S/PDIF outputs. Every output pair can transmit a different clock rate
at the same time and a digital varispeed function can be added regardless
of the operation mode. A lot of more special features ensure the use of iD
in every studio environment.
Due to security demands of broadcast houses and professional studios, iD's
internal DDS process is designed to supply highest possible failure safety for
all outgoing clock signals in every state of operation. Even in cases of drop
outs or total absence of the reference clock signal, all outgoing signals are
straightforward available without any influences based on the unlimited
freewheel protection mode. Recurring reference signals will be gently re-
synchronized through iD's efficient SoftRelock functionality without any
phase jumps in the output signals.
The phase relationships of all input and output signals will be observed and
adjusted in real-time automatically, aligned to AES11–1997/2003 und EBU
R83–1996. This process reaches a control accuracy in the nanosecond range.

The grey boxes contain supplementary
information for the corresponding sections
in the text columns. The content of the
individual box refers to the description in
the text column beside the box.
Boxes which contain a triangle

with an exclamation mark should
be read carefully! These include
additional information which are of major
importance for the functional descriptions in
the text column.
